Just got out of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES.

Yeah. Give Andy Serkis a goddamn Best Actor nomination. Don't get me wrong, he was great in the previous two as well, but his performance in this film is on a whole other level. And that is *his face* on Caesar.

I'm pretty sure Fox will be pushing for this to happen, and I wish them success. (Also, we basically have a lock for this year's Best VFX winner. No other film in the next five months is even gonna come close.)

I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not? Treadwell as presented in the film is wholly compelling to me. And you're not necessarily supposed to care about the bears as individuals--the whole point Herzog is making is that where Treadwell sees personality he sees indifference and chaos. We get plenty of "Nature is friendly and fun!" perspective from Treadwell's interactions with the foxes and such, but there's no way to present the bears as anything other than terrifying IMO. It's impossible as a human being to feel anything but panic whenever Treadwell gets close to one of them.

EDIT: Oooooooooooh I get it.

Yeah, I got dragged to it against my will and ended up just staring at the upper right corner of the screen for the last hour. I have never actually just stopped watching a movie in the theatre before but I couldn't take it.

Don't do anything drastic, Teague.

^ If La La Land has to win, it had better at least be for "Audition" and not fucking "City of Stars".
